Sorry this question is too general
First you need to decide what exactly it is you want to do
Next type into google what it is you want to do and add xda on the end (you can add galaxy y on the end too if you want to search galaxy y threads) - eg how to add brightness slider xda galaxy y

I cant because I dont have the apk nor can I really help you - you will just have to look through the xml untill you come across the line for thing you wish to change the height of
Same for the png - look through the res folder untill you see the png you wish to change

But it's appear on all apps; I think the problem is on the framework-res.apk. It's miniROM touchwiz nature UX

then look in the framework - probably in styles.xml
you can try <item name="listPreferredItemHeight">64.0dip</item>
I presume thats the gap between items in a list/the height of each item

How about to make it into stock-like ? (No icon, just a banner with the app name )

most likely will require smali change as the smali will probably refer to a public value for the png or it could be a case of it just being refered as a drawable value in a drawable/layout xml - again you will have to look
without knowledge or understanding of what you are looking at it will be very hard for you to do - sorry

You rename apps you need to edit smali files. I also didnt know how to rename my launcher but i searched a lot. To change color you need to edit xml files in res/layout or res/values.

2. The App Name is defined in the strings.xml in the res folder... But usually I get errors while compiling it back.. I dont know if this works for you
I dont know the rest... D-3V!L already gave you the tutorial about Rom name and dev name thingy
Changing text color http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151075
-respect older people-
To rename apps open androidmanifest . You might find something like 'android:label="@string/app_name" if u see some thing like this search for "app_name" (in this case ) and you will find the name of app in the strings.xml
if i hav accidently helped u, u can press that button,
colors are located in colors folder,
specifically
primary_text_****.xml
secondary_text_****.xml
etc. etc.
declared as hex codes,
please research the proper hex codes for your desired color,
and compile the apk properly to get best results,
preferably you could replace classes.dex with the previous unedited apk incase it does not install

Hey guys, i write this thread to ask you if i need to resize stuff in a theme from Galaxy Ace to apply it to my Galaxy Y Stockrom ?
If yes, how can i do ?
I'm talking about this theme : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42327086&postcount=1739&nocache=1&z=2644779603544356
Made by Slayer321, all credit goes to him, i simply wanted to know if i can put this theme in my rom because i love Xperia UI and i liked his work.
Thanks you all for answer to my questions
almost certainly you would need to resize
ace is mdpi and galaxy y is ldpi
rezise the pngs and some layout xmls might have to be resized

apktool is to decompile the apk to edit xml layouts
remember google is your friend - do some searching
every apk is different you will have to read and understand the layouts - best to flash it first then you can see what needs changing

My advice : Download the theme from the thread and flash it as it is.When you are booted with the theme,check out what are the problems in the theme.If there are FC's in apps,sign then with the help of android multitool.If the themed apps are not fitting the screen,resize the PNG's with the help of any good photo editing software.
You can search google 'How to port themes' or you can go to the 'Android Themes' section on XDA,make a thread and ask there.Some experienced people might help you more than us!
hey everyone i would like to know how can i change the name of a theme? ive editing the monshine theme but i would like to change the name as i would like to create more than one so i could easily swap between them in the theme section without having to install them when i want to swap
Decompile the theme APK then go to /res/xml/theme_resources.xml then look for ,Label value="theme name". Try that.
You will have to change the package name in the manifest. There may be other places too...

Not looking at it right now but maybe in res>values>public.xml *edit- should be strings.xml
You may have to change some files in the smali folder. Take 2 themes and compare them to see what's different. A program like Diffmerge is useful for that.

I guess if u go inside framework-res.apk, there will be drawable ldpi & drawable mdpi folders. Btw if u wanna change only pngs & xmls, then u can do it in ur phone itself. U just need a superb app called Ninjamorph.apk
Hope this helps...!!

I found EMUI themes on the internet which changed the design of various third party apps like f.e. WhatsApp. So I know, I could just take the theme, and edit the com.whatsapp file in it, but there are not all design elements of the app included. So my question: How can I find out the name of every design element and file name to change the design of every part of each app?
This is huge process i think
I'd just need the name of the elements for this xml file and the rest of the file structure where the media files for icons are (with their name). How could other people do it then? Isn't there a way to easily find that out? ?
I guess you have to decompile the apps in question and look at their source code for the correct names for elements. Probably a bit time consuming process yes. But that's probably how they all do it.
Thanks, I decompiled WhatsApp.apk and am now trying to understand how this whole thing works... I still don't understand everything especially because of the theme.xml file which obviously only exists in the theme, but not in the decompiled WhatsApp.apk. But I'm going to try to find out everything by try and error

Does anyone know how to edit the chat bubbles in Whatsapp using the EMUI themes? I already tried to enter another color inside the theme.xml:
<color name="bubble_color_outgoing">#ffd29bd7</color>
And I also tried to edit those files (see attachment) inside /res/drawable-hdpi-v4/, /res/drawable-xhdpi-v4/ and /res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4/.
Nothing changed. Is the EMUI theming engine unable to edit those chat bubbles or is there another file that I missed?
